What we Got.

After many hours in the parks digging and calculatiing, the crew have achieved the full course open. Here are some flicks of what is in. This is what we got.

New Feature.

Tomorrow will bring some new features to the park. Come up and check em out! Up Box creation designed buy Mike, and some extra jib action on the 4th terrace. Tomorrow looks epic again before the storm hits over the weekend! Come check it out and have some fun. Hoping from 12.30. Arvo shred will fit in with the thirsty Thursday events. No excuses!!!! Thanks Tim Hailwood - http://www.flickr.com/photos/timhailwood/ . Peace

Just a Play = FUN.

So when the wind is howling and the snow is still good it does not mean that the resort is a write off. I mean, any chance on a day off to just ride is a great opportunity! It is days like this that sometimes bear fruit. Giving fun factor of epic proportions and all round don't care riding! Don't care riding is how it should always be. Its just empowered by the fact the park jump line has closed and the jibs are still hard to hit in the high winds. To rug up, put on the face mask and shred the teeth off the open trail or not, it is about fun! Get the most out of every opportunity and respect the fact that we have the chance to ride! Some shots from my day off in high winds. Thanks to www.rileybathurst.com - Yes that is a camera on the front of that helicopter.

Flicks 2.0.

So we had some Queenstown crew sessioning the slope today. Stoked! Ash man from last year, Andy Dub from last year, Jordan, and our local crew including the big sheriff Zach O. Here are a couple of shots from today. Jump 3 and 4, and Andy C on the urban down bar. Shawnie the skiier in the mix too. Props to Joe Dole gettin his first 1260 on the 60 footer today! YeaBoi! Also a big thanks to Tim Hailwood for the shots. http://www.flickr.com/photos/timhailwood/

Building.

Over the last week we have been building up some features. The crew, Grooming crew, and management have been patient with conditions and the like to get things going. We are now just one day away from finishing it all to get every course on the go. It has been as up and down as last year. However with united minds in the right places we have achieved a step up on last year. Hope to see some people up on Friday to enjoy the set up. Come say Hey! Thanks to Tim Hailwood for the shots. http://www.flickr.com/photos/timhailwood/

Sunday Night Training.

So the plan was to get on the tramps at QE2. Well sure enough someone had not checked the time on it and we rolled up to hear "Bye Bye" being said by some gay instructor who was rude to say the least. Anyone who has been will know the guy. None of the crew wanted to hang out for any length of time so we bailed quickly to the driving range for a T off. Caught up with the counter man who gave us a sly 10 free extra balls each on the 50 for $4 Sunday combo deal, grabbed a club (Iron-Lite 360), had a look at an amazing poster for inspiration and was set for a smash. Problem was even this guy had a limit too. we got 20 minutes to crank through 50 each. The range was well lit and had many cubicals. I do not regularly play golf but i love having a game every now and then. The driving range is always a good time. I think i might have just been hooked into playing more often. The crew were all done with 5 minutes to spare. A quick session, but one that has inspired many more to come. Thanks QE2. Good Times!

Still Snowed Under.

After another solid weekend and some great snow conditions off piste it now turns back to the Terrain park. Swallowed up whole by the storming fury of a SE snowfall we are looking up after many hours of digging and re creating. I am so stoked with the crews efforts over the last few days. Hoping soon we can get the 4 jump line pimped and back to 100% to let the good times roll! Pipe of course now is back to digging out and start cutting asap. Until tomorrow. Peace.

Andrew Lyall Was there 2009 Park edit.

A massive thank you to Andrew Lyall who put in hours of work filming this edit of our parks in 2009. This guy works like a crazy person with nothing but effort towards getting it done. Over the last year he has put this together after many restraints and hassles he has powered through to come up with this. Again Big props to the first camera man to capture our park crew, friends and day to day riding 2009. Cant wait to see what he comes up with in the future. Andy Lyall. Good work bro!

Got Dice?

Team rider Ben comber and local ripper TJ had a session in the park with NZsnowboard.com yesterday playing their game of dice. Their edits will be up soon on www.nzsnowboard.com so hold tight until then. We were stoked to see what the boys could throw down and it was great to see them put to the test. It was great to get on the sled for an arvo and help out too! Thanks to Piers and Jeremy who were the camera crew. A big thanks to Riley Bathurst www.rileybathurst.com for supplying the following photos.

A Day in the Park.

From shaping to testing, to laughs and fun times. In the park crew a day to day is dig, shape, ride, dig, and shape. Here are a couple from today. One shot of a down bar rail, some of the shaping, and one of Zach with some broken pieces after edging up the 520. Just some of the things we do day to day. See you again tomorrow Mt Hutt. Thanks to Tim Hailwood for the photography http://www.flickr.com/photos/timhailwood/ . Peace.

Just Home.

Just got home after another early start and yesterdays 15 hours of fury. We are getting there. Thanks to Todd Main, Fish and our crew things are coming along. From the other post and this you might wonder about what we have going down. Basicly we are going full steam to try and get everything up and running for Saturday. We will all do our best. Thanks to everyone invloved. Without such a team none of this would be possible. You know who you are.
